Camera Types

There are two available camera types “Avatar”, which is the default, displays the Skybell avatar image.
It is periodically updated with a fresh image. The other type is “Activity”, which displays a snapshot from
the latest event (motion, bell, or on demand) captured by the camera. You may show either camera, or both, by
specifying its name under monitored_condtions. It’s recommended, but not required, to set either avatar_name or activity_name
if you are showing both cameras so you can tell them apart. The name will be appended to the skybell device name.
